Re: Newbie with syntax problem

If correctly installed, it should be no problem to have v1 and v2 installed side by side so that you can use both kinds of scripts (no need to remove v1). That's what the Launcher is meant for... and the #Requires directive (also available in recent v1 versions).

Re: Newbie with syntax problem

the messagebox shows "Hello World! <> 2. MyVar" Looks like you are running AHK v2 code with AHK v1 (the Launcher might have identified the used syntax incorrectly, or v2 is not installed (correctly)). If you have v2 actually installed as well, add #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 at the top of your script.

Re: Hot keys without sending original combination

What means "sends the unwanted ctrl"? This website detects the key events which it can see, but it doesn't even distinguish between down and up events. How do you know if it's a sent Ctrl or simply an event of your own physical keypress? Especially since Ctrl doesn't get suppressed like regular keys...

Re: Notepad: Right Ctrl+Shift Topic is solved

It's just that RShift::LShift is not a hotkey, but a remapping... so it should already allow additional modifier keys to be held down, and * would be redundant in this case, afaics.

Re: Mark emails as read in Outlook

Thank you but this was intended to be for AHK v2, can you provide some v2 code to test? When you post obvious v1 code in your original post, but actually want v2 code, it would make sense to mention this from the start. Otherwise, your topic will be (and has been) moved to the v1 help subforum, ass...

Re: Using AHK with the Nestopia gaming emulator

Re: Running compiled script on another computer without warnings

Not necessarily. I guess if a certain version of the interpreter gets flagged erroneously for its abilities or heuristic similarity to a malware, it's probably not so important if you include it as a separate file or as part of an compiled exe (you might know that AHK exe-files are more or less just...

Re: What is this function in PMC

I have no knowledge whatsoever about PMC, but in AHK your code above would constitute a hotstring subroutine. I would look for this term in PMC as well. (The multi-line subroutine above would miss a closing return , though, with potential unwanted side-effects in a larger script. Instead of a return...

abc , I now moved your topic to AHK v1 help. You originally got v2 help, because you posted in 'Ask for Help (v2)'. Please note that there are different subforums now. How about you have a go at it yourself in v1, based on the idea of the v2 code above? If it doesn't work, feel free to post your at...

Re: Idea for using AHK on mobile (through a PC)

Why shouldn't it be possible? You might have to resort to things like Imagesearch and clicking coordinates on a visible window, though (similarly, like people have automated the BlueStacks Android emulator - although not a mirroring app - with AHK, for example), if the mirroring app itself doesn't o...

Tried in two different browsers and a third one on my phone. The problem still persists.
Perhaps a caching issue - Cloudflare or something. If that's it, it might resolve itself soon.

Currently, autohotkey.com is broken. Perhaps a CSS problem?

Re: Case Sensitivity

Function names and key names (like all the above), variable names, labels , window groups, classes, properties and methods are case-insensitive (at least for Ascii letters, for non-ascii letters see below). Afaics, case-sensitivity is only used moderately in AHK v1 and v2. Yet Wintitle s and string...
